Giants released LHP Ricky Romero.

Romero, 32, has thrown just 30 2/3 innings the last two seasons in the minors for the Giants, including 14 2/3 frames this year when he's posted a 6.75 ERA. The left-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2013. Sun, Apr 30, 2017 10:33:00 AM

Giants re-signed LHP Ricky Romero to a minor league contract.

Romero has made just six starts over the last two seasons in the minors with the Giants, but they're bringing him back again. Slated to turn 32 this weekend, Romero hasn't pitched in the majors since 2013. Fri, Nov 4, 2016 04:28:00 PM

Romero will begin his Giants career at their spring training complex in Arizona, pitching in extended spring training games. He posted a 2.92 ERA and 1.138 WHIP in 225 innings for the Blue Jays in 2011, but chronic knee and control problems have completely derailed his career. San Francisco probably won't be expecting much from the 30-year-old left-hander. Mon, May 11, 2015 11:20:00 AM

Evan Longoria (foot, ankle) is expected to return to the Giants' Cactus League lineup on Wednesday night against the Mariners.

Longoria has been sidelined for close to a week with soreness along his left heel and ankle, but he took infield practice at third base Tuesday without issue and also participated in live BP. The veteran third baseman should be fine for the start of the 2018 regular season.

Smith is now 11 months removed from his Tommy John surgery. There's still a long way to go and he's not sure if he'll be ready for Opening Day, but he has a good chance to contribute early on in the first half.
